LOCATION

Living in Gènova, Palma de Mallorca

Gènova has the soul of a village. Mallorquins and residents from across the world share the same narrow streets, exchanging greetings in passing. A bakery and a small supermarket sit minutes from the door. Hiking trails begin at the edge of the neighbourhood, rising into the pine forests of Na Burguesa. This unhurried rhythm, a genuine village life within the city of Palma, is rare and difficult to replicate.

The centre of the city is minutes away, as are the beaches of Cala Major and Illetas. It is a location of genuine quiet that stays effortlessly close to urban convenience, known for its restaurants and its proximity to international schools.

THE STORY

Claudia Zivko has called Mallorca home for more than twenty years. A licensed real estate agent and developer, she bought this land herself and built Casa Aguila as her first development project.

It has been her family's home for seven years. As her daughters set out on their own journeys, she is ready for a new chapter, and offers the house for sale with a grateful heart, cherishing the memories of a home she truly loved living in.

I am not just selling a house, I am selling a home.

THE VISIT

The house, developed with the architecture studio Cel Ras, is structured in two volumes connected by a central volume that contains the living room inside, with an upper terrace directly above. The terrace carries a small irrigated garden that keeps grass and plants green all year, an outdoor room facing the sea and the hills of Gènova.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Indoor and outdoor living flow into one another. The kitchen and the living room open directly onto the terrace, where a covered dining area makes lunch and dinner outside possible all year long. A barbecue area communicates directly with the kitchen.

BEDROOMS

The two-volume layout gives the master bedroom natural privacy, set apart from the other bedrooms. Every bedroom has air conditioning and a ceiling fan, and sliding windows that let the air move through the house.

THE BASEMENT

Beneath the house lies a full lower floor: a bathroom with shower, storage, a technical room, an office and a media room, with direct access to the outside. A floor that leaves its use open.

This house has been our home for seven years, and it kept evolving with us. Small touches, additions and changes, drawn from everyday life and from moments with friends and family.

A MODERN ECO HOUSE

The combination of solar panels, a heat pump, wood construction and SATE insulation, an external thermal envelope that wraps the structure in a continuous insulating layer, gives the house a climate of its own: warm in winter with a minimum of heating, fresh in summer with generous airflow. An economical house in energy, and an ecological one.

WOOD CONSTRUCTION FEELING

The core structure is built in advanced wood technology. Sustainably sourced, the wood regulates humidity and temperature naturally, keeping the climate of the house healthy through hot Mallorcan summers and cool winters.

THE RESONANCE OF TRADITION

The stone walls follow the Mallorcan tradition of Pedra en Sec. Each stone was selected and cut by hand. By tapping with a hammer and listening to the resonance, the workers test that a stone is solid and well cut, an old skill in which the stone must sing to be used.
